"Mr. Lincoln
was here a moment ago," Herndon writes Trumbull, "and told me that he had just
seen Col. Dougherty. . . . He told Lincoln that the National Democracy intended
to run in every county and district, a National Democrat for each and every
office. Lincoln replied, 'If you do this the thing is settled.' . . . Lincoln
is very certain as to Miller's and Bateman's election . . . but is gloomy and
rather uncertain about his own success." Horace White, The Life of
Lyman Trumbull (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1913), 89.
